CREATIVITY LIVES HERE: Paper Therapy Challenge #22

Monday, February 28, 2011

Hi! Happy Monday to all of you! I hope you had a great weekend. I sure am ready for spring, how about you?! I can't believe tomorrow is March 1st....doesn't that mean Spring is a little bit closer?!?!?! Ah well...at least the sun is shining here today.

I have a cute little card to share for Paper Therapy's Sketch challenge. Paper Therapy is an online forum and gallery for paper crafters. It's a great group of women and a fun place to hang out to discuss stamping and scrapbooking! So, my friend Jen was kind enough to lend me her DeNami Design stamps for a couple weeks! She has such a great stash, so I've had fun looking through and picking out ones I want to use. These little turtles are just TOO CUTE, dontcha think?! They just make me smile :-) I paired the Mini Turtle and the Mine Side-view Turtle with the Medium Dot Circle Frame, made a striped background with the Three Line Border, and finished it off with a couple sentiments from Heartfelt Greetings Stamp Set, a rhinestone, and some striped ribbon. I hope I have inspired you today to either play along with the challenge, or make a cute 'kid' card! As always, I appreciate you visiting me today, and would love to hear your thoughts about my card! Be sure to visit again on Thursday -- I will have another card to show you!

Stamps: DeNami - Mini Turtle, Mine Side-view Turtle, Medium Dot Circle Frame, Three Line Border, Heartfelt Greetings Stamp Set

Cardstock: Stampin' Up - Tempting Turquoise, Rose Red, Certainly Celery, Whisper White

Yay for Jen for sharing with you! I've never heard of this challenge before- I'll have to check it out. Love the turtles inside of the polka dot circle, so fun!

Those turtles are darling! Your cardstock matches your ribbon really nicely. I like how the background stripes mimic the stripes on the ribbon. Nicely done!
